Rather than “admirable attempt”, I’d say @twhiddleston kiwi accent “didn’t make me cringe”. Ok, what the hell, I’d go so far as to say I didn’t disagree with it! #Tenzing rnz.co.nz/life/screens/movie…

Big news for anyone who's ever fallen asleep to a podcast on the couch: Pocket Casts is now on @AppleTV.
Your podcasts have been with you all day, through the commute, the dishes, and the dog walk. Now they've got a home on the biggest screen in the house too.
There’s a few quirks with my new #iPhone18Pro…like some of the cover art in the music app is a tad mixed up😂
This has got to be a record. Two minutes after emailing an app improvement suggestion, the developer replies. God I love app makers! strategicnerds.com
One more sleep! My first new iPhone in 4 years, so can't wait! #iPhone18Pro
Staggering. 8 years on and I still can't do some basic things in Photos on a Mac #macOS27 #macOSGoldenGate @AppleSupport
#macOSMojave Photos
* Still can’t delete “unnamed” faces (ie, random strangers Photos has tagged)!!
* Still can’t create a smart list to find unnamed faces!!
* It still thinks this is a selfie!!
What is it with the comments from @daringfireball concerning @markgurman? Have read/followed/admired John Gruber for years…and only just started following Gurman…but it just seems petty.
“ill-informed know-it-all”….grow up!
